Objective journalism? Get real and move on

I found myself nodding vigorously when reading the latest blog by Westminster University journalism tutor Andrew Grant-Adamson. He is downcast, quite rightly, at the continuing debate about the nature of objectivity and journalism. It should have ended years ago, he writes, and points to need to engage instead in a more coherent discussion about the changes to journalism wrought by this current "period of rapid and unpredictable change". Hear, hear. Read him, and you'll see what he means. (Via wordblog.co.uk)
